Application mea July 14,

To all wwmiz't may concern.'

Be' itknown that I, EMILE MARTIN, a citizen of thel United States,v residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented `a certain new and Improved Method Vfor Producing Permanent Waves in Hair, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates tio methods of producing waves in hair, and more especially to those methods which produce what are ordinarily known as permanent waves, aswill be more fully hereinafter described.

Referring to the drawings: F igures'1,2,'

3 and 4 show various steps in method, and Figure 5 shows an cned view of a .cornpletely'assembled structure, looking at F 1gure 4' from the ri ht.

Referring to t e specifications: Figure 1 shows a stick which can be of any cross sectional form-round, square, rectangular, oval, orotherwise, as maybe desired, although I refer to use ordinariliy a round stick. 'Ihls stick can be made o any'sultable material,l but I refer to use aluminum. Upon the stick 1s wound spirally -the strand of hair 2, which has previously been twisted. The strand of hair` is secured to the stick by tying it at each end as shown, or throughout its length, with a string or tape 3, orin any other suitable manner that will secure itin osition upon the stick 1.

Over the outsi e of the strand of hair 2 I place a layer of flannel 4, or other slmilar material, by wrapping itV thereon tightly,

andiupon this layer I tightly wind a secondlayer of flannel 5, or similar' material- Figure 3.' These two layers or coverings of flannel I moisten or saturate with soluthms, as will be more fully hereinafter described. Upon the outer covering of annel 5 I sli.

a Ilraper tube 13, and upon the outside of this tu e I'slip an electric heater or unit 6, of tubular form', preferably open at both ends. rllhis heater comprises a casing 9, in which is suitably mounted an electric resistance 7,

designed to give th'e'desired heat upon being Supplylupf one or ,more vegetable oils.

ma serial No. 575,084.

16 parts borax l part bicarbonate or.

beratem of soda 40 parts water or l part bicarbonate of potash 5 parts water. These solutions I may perfume, if desired. I also may change the proportion of these ingredients, or use other combinations of the same or other alkaline materials. i A rIhe second layer of flannel 5, Figure 3, Imoisten or saturate with and -wring out I find good results can be obtained with equal parts of lifis'eed 4oil and olive oil.

z The method of producing' a permanent wave by my new method will now be readily understood as follows., .l

First step: The hair is thoroughly washed to remove all dirt or other extraneous matter.- I

Second step: The hair is alkaline solution.

Third step: The hair is wound upon'rthe stick.

Fourth ste The `hair is again vsprayed with an alka ine solution.

Fifth step: The hair is'covered with a sprayed with an strip'of liannel moistened or saturatedwith an alkaline solution.

Sixth step: A second strip of flannel, moistened or. saturated with' vegetable oils, is rhen placed over the rstcovering of llanne Seventh step: A paper tube is slipped over the outside of the outer Hannel coverminutes application of the heat, after which the heater 6, paper tube 13 and annel coverings 4 and 5 are removed, and the stick 1 is Withdrawn.

'- I have found from experience that the best results are obtained when the heater is cold v when put on. I have also found that where' an alkaline solution is used alone it makesl and after it has been once the hair brittle.,

it is liable to break vegetable oils and carrying out my method as described above. In my method the hair remains soft and pliable and does not become brittle and break.

It is obvious to anyoneskilled in the art to which this invention belongs that various modifications of my method can be madewithout going outside of my invention.

I do not limit my method in any way to the use of any particular form of device -such as shown in the drawing, as many forms of apparatus'can be used to carry out my invention. g

Having described my invention, what I claim and wish secured by Letters Patent is:

l. The herein described method of waving hair which consists in coiling the hair in the desired form, subjecting the hair first tothe action of an alkali, second to the action of vegetable oils and third to the application of heat.

2. The herein described method of waving hair which consists in moistening the hair with an alkaline solution, placing over the hair a covering, also moistened with an alkaline solution, placing a second covering, moistened with vegetable oils, over the first named covering, and then applying a temperature sufiicient to evaporate the water of the alkaline solution and allow the oils to permeate the hair.

3. .The herein described method of waving hair, which consists in coiling the hair in spiral form, spraying the hair with an alkaline solution, binding the hair with a covering saturated with an alkaline solution, applying a second covering saturated with vegetable oils, and finally applying a temperature to a degree sufficient. to evaporate the water of the alkaline` solution.

4. The herein described` successive steps in waving hair, which consists in ceiling the hair in the desired form, subjecting the hair first to an aqueous solution containing boraX and bicarbonate of soda, and second to the action of a mixture of linseed and olive oils. Y i

5. The herein described method of waving hair, which consists in ceiling the hair in the desired form, subjecting the hair first to the action of an alkaline solution, second to the action of vegetable oils, and third to the application of heat and mechanical pressure.

6. The method of waving hair yconsisting in giving vthe hair the desired form, then treating the hair with an alkaline solution and with vegetable oils, and finally heating it.

7. The method. of waving hair consisting in giving the hair the desired form, then treating the hair with an aqueous solution ,of bicarbonate of potash and with a vegetable oil, and finally heating it.

8. The method of waving hair consisting in giving the hair the desired form, then treating the hair with an aqueous solution of berate of soda and with a vegetable oil, and' finally heating it.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.

EMILE MARTIN.
